Re: Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?
The AA/S (10.60) and A/S (10.95) combinations fall into SS/D (10.20) SS/E (10.25). Why are the SS indexs (.05 for the stick and .15 for auto) so tight and the Stock indexs spread out ( .35 for stick and .40 for the auto) so far?
MOST of the cars are factored at or around 400hp/200 lbs. The difference between some of the "natural" AA cars and A cars are light weight body components / fresh air with both using identical engines. Additional HP factors in most cases do reflect the "special" components which in reallity negate their use/exsistence. Not sure what I am trying to say...may have answered my own question. 10.80 to 10.85 would make sense. Phil |

Re: Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?
I don't have a dog in this fight but I definitely feel like 10.75-10.80 makes more sense on the index and realistically A/SA should be 10.05 or if it stays at 10.00 B/SA should be 10.20 to make everything fall in line...just my 2 cents

Re: Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?
Ok, so the fastest AA car in the nation runs 9.604 at Pomona. ( hardly enough to get a HP hit .) That equates to -.896 under at Indy last year...so at Indy he get's in at #119. None of the other four AA cars come even close to making the 128 car Indy field. Point being made - they're all really fast cars. An adjustment in the AA index is the fare thing for NHRA to do.

Agreed. Don't know what the CF was when he made that run but allowing a tenth is very conservative.
